"Life So Full of Promise" with Ross McMullin

Just in time for ANZAC Day, we have Ross McMullin coming to Brighton library with "Life So Full of Promise", his second multi-biography about Australia’s lost generation of World War I.

Ross is an award-winning historian and biographer, a renowned storyteller and author of "Farewell, Dear People", which was awarded the Prime Minister’s Prize for Australian History. In this sequel, "Life So Full of Promise", Ross has again combined prodigious research and narrative flair in a collection of interwoven family stories about forgotten Australians who had radiant potential.

The rich cast of characters in "Life So Full of Promise" includes a popular doctor, a brilliant cricketer, and an exceptionally talented barrister who was a potential prime minister.

"Life So Full of Promise" has been shortlisted for a national award, the Nib Literary Award. Barry Jones reviewed it in The Age: “His scholarship is impeccable, he writes like an angel … and his narrative gift is Blaineyesque.”

You’ll be entertained, enlightened and moved as Ross brings these extraordinary yet unknown Australians back to life. Books will be available for sale.
